Videos vs Pictures: Social Media

Some people would say that posting videos are better than photos on social media because it is easier to attract more attention to colourful moving visuals.
However, it mostly depends on the colours and contrast of the photos/videos that will get people’s attention!

Selfies!

A lot of people now post selfies and pictures of them whilst doing things to let people have an insight into their lives. But what if you posted more videos on your journeys and of what you were doing at that specific moment?
This is what people like… Celebrities are known to post many of their Snapchat videos on Instagram so people are up to date on what mischief they get up to.

How to post videos?

If you were to post a video on Instagram make sure it is vibrant and colourful. This will attract much attention when it is shown on the explore page and when people search for you! Humour is a big thing to include as well… everyone loves a laugh or something to watch to cheer them up during the day.
You can also get more across in videos than taking a picture and writing a paragraph in the caption below. It helps to get views and opinions across if ever debating on a particular debate.

Here is a fact:
“Researchers found that coloured visuals increase people’s willingness to read a piece of content by 80%.”

This means making sure it stands out with the colour of the rainbow!
